SDM Baseline Condition Map Review
Seasonal Patterns in Sea Surface Temperatures
Seasonal Baseline Map Comparisons
Do baseline conditions look vastly different on a map? Are there Seasonal Patterns to the error?
Spring = March - May
Summer = June - August
August = September - November
Winter = December - February
Question that came up:
Should we scale the covariates and SSP scenarios based on their baseline mean/variance rather than the extracted data points mean/variance?
For that we would take a grand mean and variance for the year over our complete study area, and use that to scale with.
Would need mean/variance over the whole area and not by pixel to preserve the north and south patterns. But this would in theory avoid any of the spatial and temporal sampling biases.
